How I Structure My Songs @BrandonBurch

Uploaded October 2017 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

Welcome to my video lesson on how I typically write and structure my songs. This will be an overview of the order of elements for my song Reborn: Intro, Verse, PreChorus, Chorus, Bridge, Break, and Outro. It's up to you which elements you want to use or take away - or even add a new one - when writing your own song. The purpose of this tutorial is to give you some ideas on writing your first few songs. There is no right or wrong - this structure is pretty mainstream, but my personal favorite.

You can listen/purchase "Reborn" at Bandcamp, or any other digital stores if you prefer.

Faces Theres so many faces in life Whom can I trust? My soul is aching Feels like Im going to break You left me stranded here Who will tell me that theyre near? Im not ok Im broken inside And I need you near I need you with me Betrayed and alone Scared and angry I struggle to breathe My lungs collapsing I dont understand Why did this happen To my family Why wont you answer? But God You are real Youre still in control And I know You see A greater picture Father Will You lead me through the dark? You are the Light Shepherd I know Youve never left my side You are my hope My soul is aching Feels like Im going to break Dont leave me stranded here Just remind me that Youre near Ill be ok Im healing inside And I know youre near I know youre with me Im never alone Peace you give me You breathe into me My soul reviving I dont understand Why storms of this life Seem to swallow me Dont have the answer But God You are real Youre still in control I know You see A greater picture (Guitar solo) Im more than ok Im healing inside And I feel you near I feel you near me Im never alone Peace you give me You breathe into me My soul reviving This world that Im in Is fractured by sin So you put me here To be a witness Cause Jesus is real He is the answer Look up now and see The Greater Picture The greater picture You are You are You are the way You are the You are the You are the way You are the potter And I am the clay So take your hands And shape me as you will$
